Food52 Nonstick Pan Issues - Total Fail

I bought the Five Two Essential Cookware 10" nonstick last week and it's been a disaster.

I've followed everything possible: Low to medium low heat, high-flashpoint oil, making sure the pan is warm before adding pancakes or eggs, etc.

Half of everything I cook seems to stick all the time. The last two times I used a ton of oil, so it can't be that. I've never had a pan this difficult to work with before.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong? My friend swears by this pan and I think sometimes she doesn't even use any oil. How am I failing when I use more than enough of it?

Hi there! Thanks so much for letting us know about this. Sounds like you're doing the best you can to prevent nonsticking—in particular, preheating the pan and using enough fat before adding your ingredients. We'll send you a note from help@food52.com to troubleshoot. Don't want to leave you with a pan you can't use and enjoy!
